Oh, no! The school bell rang and I didn’t even wake up from my seat. Wait and imagine, “School is to early. What will my friends and I do?” Well, I believe that school should start at a later time, because the children, the teachers, the staffs, the principal, etc. have to wake up early and they have to try not to get drowsy.

When you come to school and you aren’t ready to perform your classroom activities, what does the teacher have to say? He/she might have to say that you need more sleep, but you couldn’t, because you have to finish eating, then you have to do your after school activities, and you have to complete all you’re homework. When you’re ready to sleep, you see that it’s around 11:00pm- 12:30am. What will you do?

"I have the data from the 3,120 Rhode Island High School, and similar data from other researchers, showing that more than 50 percent of 11th and 12th graders work twenty hours or more,” said Wolfson, a researcher that was found in an article on www.parent-teen.com. I really hate kids, adult, etc. to have to wake up early and maybe fall asleep in class.

In an article called, “Wake Up Sleepy Teen,” I read that teens fall asleep in class because they are tired after going to school, then maybe going to an after school job, and next doing a five page report and more homework. So, in conclusion students will not wake up in a bad mood. On www.washingtonpost.com, Klya Wahlstom, interim director of the University of Minnesota Center for Applied Research and Educational Improvement said,”People tell me that changing school starts times to later mollycoddling the kids.”

Schools should start at a later because this way the students can have more time to spend with their parents and family. Did you know that five to ten hours is one thing, but fifteen to twenty hours is adding problems to an already troubling pictures.

School lags was still evidence in students whose alertness in general, peaks at around 3pm. I really disagree and agree with this opinion. I agree with this statement because most students have lots and lots of homework and they might feel exhausted waking up early.

Another reason why school should start at 11:30 am. and end at 4:00pm. is because they will fall asleep in class. Therefore, I believe that school should start at a later time because we are just kids. But even though I believe in this statement, I know that school shouldn’t start later, cause the parents might be stressed out watching his/her child/children. Also, in class the students aren’t getting enough work to do. Finally, the earlier they wake the more education they’ll get.

To solve this problem we have to do something. One thing we can do is have a community assembly. You may also have smaller classes in the room. In conclusion, you surely can write a letter to the mayor or the school counselor and maybe going on a strike.

I have five words to say, you can make a difference! Always remember that school is too long! I really believe that school days should start at a later time, because students have to wake up early in order to go to school on time. Take a lead and have a strike. Even, have a massive community and have a community assembly. School should start late or else you will drool in class. Did you know that some students in Texas have shorter school days? Wow, and I thought that going to my school was fun!
